The 2010 Adobe/Intel Application Lab Event

The website: adobeintelapplab.com was originally built as the landing page for information about the Adobe/Intel Application Lab event held on July 21, 2010. This site would be where one could sign up. The event aimed at AIR developers** looking for ways to distribute and monetize their applications. Aimed at a 20-30 year old audience, the Lab event was free with pizza & beer being provided along with prizes being raffled off. Since the space was limited, it was necessary to register, hence the website.

I attended the actual event with several seriously tech oriented cohorts. We were intent in winning a prize or two as well as the thousands of dollars that were purported available. After a very intense day we would chill out in our hotel room playing poker at one of our favorite online casino US friendly sites. Well some of us would play poker, and you know who would prefer to play free online slots which may have been the wiser course since we were playing for real money and he wasn't. In 2010 is was still tricky to find friendly US player online sites. Jump ahead a few years and now we all take for granted the ease in which we, US players, can play at online casinos, but it wasn't all that long ago that our conservative legislators decided they didn't want US citizens to have access to online casino sites. Sure, it was fine to go to a landbased casino, but no no to gambling online. Thank goodness the 2006 the UIGEA laws have lightened up and credit card companies are no longer shying away from allowing to fund gaming accounts. Anyway, the event was great, two of us won Adobe Creative Suite and the memory was sweet enough that I wanted to recreate the original site.

Consider the resurrection of this site for historical purposes or for nostalgic reasons. Your choice

**Adobe AIR is a cross-platform runtime that enables people to use their existing Flash/ActionScript or HTML/JavaScript development skills and tools to build and deploy applications, games, and videos outside the browser and / or on mobile devices.

Adobe noted in the summer of 2010 that Flash had landed on Android with the result that some great games were already up and running on Android devices. They predicted that it would only get better from here. As an incentive to get those creative juices flowing from AIR developers, Adobe joined forces with 3 different partners to offer 3 different contests during the summer of 2010. There were thousands of dollars up for grabs, in addition to prizes such as copies of Adobe Creative Suites.

Were you there for one of those events? I was and I can attest that there were plenty of excited Adobe AIR developers who joined Adobe & Intel for the discussions about new revenue opportunities for the Intel AppUp Center. They also announced the release of the Adobe AIR SDK . The Adobe® AIR® SDK & Compiler would provide developers with a consistent and flexible development environment for the delivery of out-of-browser applications and games across devices and such platforms as Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
